“I played safety at a high level for a long time and I was banging and I never missed a game because of a concussion so it just seems like an excuse to me,” Harrison told NBC Sports radio.

Harrison’s comments put countless others at risk of sustaining concussions due to mass head slapping. The sentiment behind the statement — never mind the logic — is absurd. So of course, Harrison continued:

“Maybe’s he’s looking around and saying, ‘You know, maybe Greg Jennings isn’t as good as I thought, Adrian Peterson is struggling. Heck I just want out of this situation, I can’t wait for the end of the season.'”

Freeman just finished a very public split with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that did significant damage to his reputation. He sustained his concussion in his first game for a new team. There is likely nothing Freeman wants more than to play well and lay to rest all the negativity spinning around him.

But Harrison is probably right. Freeman decided to fake a head injury to get out of the remaining eight games of the season. That must be the case because Harrison played football and never had a problem with concussions.

The sentiment behind the statement — never mind the logic — is absurd.
